Well, you could time just running configure by hand. > I can't explain why I regularly saw > 5 minutes previously, but it's > still 10% of the build time. Should I open a bug on that? Jut write a patch to not do even more stuff on windows? it probably isn't terribly hard assuming there's stuff that will always test true or false on windows that we haven't stopped running there already. Looking through configure for such sounds annoying, but not hard.
